Carolina Hurricanes aim to avoid series sweep, snap 15-game losing streak versus Florida Panthers in Game 4 Monday
The Florida Panthers are on the cusp of being in the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight season and making it six straight years that a team from the state of Florida has made the Finals. It's a legendary run we are witnessing as this team could be a potential dynasty but the Carolina Hurricanes aren't out just yet.
They currently sit down 3-0 in the series with a win on Monday being needed to prolong the series. It's been a slugfest where the Panthers have done what they do best with smothering the Canes and they haven't been able to respond.
Carolina will need to bring their best effort yet to avoid a gruesome 15-game losing streak in the Conference Finals continuing. It'll be their strongest push yet and should make for must-see tv in a big game on Monday.

The losing streak has to be snapped as the Hurricanes are long overdue for a win during the Conference Finals and should finally get it with their backs against the wall.
I do expect it to come with plenty of goals and the Cats have done everything they can to exploit the Carolina goaltenders with 16 goals through three games on Fredrick Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov.
There will be goals in this one because Carolina will need them if they want to win as it's been a very slow series for everyone on the team except for Seth Jarvis, who is the only player on the roster averaging a point-per-game in this series.

Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov was near the league-lead in playoff goals but has since gone three games without a goal along with star centre Sebastian Aho, who has just one goal in the series and has only two multi-point games in the postseason.
These two need to have big games if their team wants a chance to win especially Aho, who is expected to lead this team after recording 74 points on 79 games this season. He needs to take over a game and help lift his team in a big way.
Aho and Svechnikov play on different lines which means they likely need one goal from each unit for them to get on the board. They play the most and third-most forward minutes on the team respectively and need to show for it.
